Lakim Shabazz - Lost Tribe Of Shabazz Lyrics
(Our people will survive America)[ VERSE 1 ]My people were took from the motherlandBy the other manBrought to the wildernessLike a ventriloquistPlayed my people like puppets by plantin fear in their heartNowadays most of us don't know where to start10% of us can help, but don't feel the needThey love greedAnd this really bothers me85% of us are totally ignorantWalkin around with the nigger ment-ality, 5% of us are ready to die forThe cause, of course the source is ElijahKnowledge of self is what you need to stop the bullIf you don't get it, I'm held responsibleRhymes I make are designed to reach the youthI gotta teach, that's why I speak the truthSome waste time dwellin on the pastIt's time they know that we're the lost Tribe of Shabazz(Our people will survive America) (2x)[ VERSE 2 ]Stay awake and don't sleep, cause I'm comin after yaDevils I smash and leave em flat as a spatulaBack again, the mathmatical radicalGettin emotional, very emphaticalThe original man uses 23 millionSquare miles on the planet Earth, constantly buildinOn the other hand the other man wants to confuse yaSimple psychology, tricknowlogy fools yaThey have you believe we descend from canibalsShow you pictures of Africans lookin like animalsHow could we be animals, look at the things we didWith our own bare hands we built pyramidsBlind, deaf, and dumb is how they raised yaTo them it's Africa, to us it's AsiaTo get to the point, to make it clear to yaThey're no superior, and we're not inferiorI got the other man pointin at me, cause I licked himTook a stand for the blackman, and didn't fall victimThe nation is growin rapid and fastThat's why I'm tellin you we're the lost Tribe of Shabazz(Our people will survive America) (4x)[ VERSE 3 ]I couldn't wait to battle a beat like this trackIs so def, I had to pump my fist, blackMy rhymes weigh six sextillion tonsHeavy as the Earth, a lyrical functionImagine if every black man, woman and childWould simply refuseTo go to work for one dayDo you know how much money these companies would lose?Since everything's based on money, that's what we gotta getWe gotta learn when to quit, when not to quitIt's really sad, I know some peopleThink that one day we'll be treated as equalIt's the Land of the Freedom, or so they say soThey tell you're free, yeah, but free to do what though?Off our arms and legs they took the chainsBig deal - they still left em around our brainsThings I say make the government fear thisI speak with authority, so you can hear thisI hate oreos, that's why I gots to bombYou so-called niggerish Uncle TomsWe're on a rise-up, you better wise upYou can't stop us, now are you surprised, duck?You might take it as a political outblastBut we're the lost Tribe of Shabazz(Our people will survive America) (8x)
